An elaborate necklacefrom the Victorian (ca1880s)era! This magnificent piece is crafted in 18k yellow gold, and has a very decorative festoon design. The necklace begins as a single strand of dainty cable chain, and then transitions into a double-stranded design. The top row of the chain features 11 circular shaped gold links, which are Etruscan in style. 6 of the circular links feature floral motifs, and the other 5 feature oval-shaped green tourmaline stones, which are held within bezel settings. The lower row of the chain features 5 additional circular floral-motif links, and three, textured gold balls. The balls graduate slightly in size, with the central ball being the largest. The necklace secures with a spring ring clasp which is stamped "ITALY" and with an "18K" purity mark. A gorgeous piece, this necklace would be perfect for a special occasion!
